trail clearing technique and tools

I've had a pair of Wells Lamont hydrahyde gloves $14 at Amazon or Walmart for a few months now. They are a mix of leather on the palm/finger work surfaces, but the back of the glove is synthetic. https://www.amazon.com/Wells-Lamont...s=hi&sprefix=hydrahyde+gloves,tools,89&sr=1-2

This traditional style of leather glove is only $8.50 pair...lasts a long time for me. https://www.amazon.com/Wells-Lamont...prefix=white+mule+glove,tools,119&sr=1-2&th=1

I just wear exam gloves for working on the car and then throw them away because they either tear or get so nasty.

Ever use kevlar lined gloves? Still have a pair from about 10yrs ago, leather on outside is shot but the kevlar liner is still good enough for my occasional usage. They are definitely breathable now. Lol

Seems my card reader has failed which we use to DL photos from our camera. We will be working on our trails on Saturday morning and are suppose to pick up that new 6x6 max late that day. Sorry about that folks. Someone was asking about difference in pole saws heads between Echo and Stihl which I did had pics of. Oh well.

Just picked up and scheduled a fence clearing job for December. Love to get that kind of work when done haying. It will also make field mowing easier on my tractor cab since they are a regular field mowing customer.

We only did a few hours of clearing on our trails this morning. Nothing exciting to show but sure happy for the help. We couldn't pick up the new 6x6 today as planned.

All done (for the day)

I'm heading back to the old weld shop yard clean-out job today and try get pics there. Seems I have the camera card reading issues resolved. I've been using the mini makita saws like loppers and have one at the slash pile to trim limbs off and the other where-ever I'm taking the trees down.
